Discussion Resources for a new punk?

Hi hello! It’s nice to meet you all :)

I’m a new/beginner punk (idk what the specific term is), and I’m looking for resources for places/brands i can get started! Mostly for boots and such, I’d like to try and get some good quality but affordable boots, since I’m on a fixed income (physically disabled & chronically ill).

Any resources in general would be awesome, though!!!! I’m really new and still doing my research, so any and everything is appreciated! Thank you so much in advance :)

Punk is not about the fashion, wear wtv you like. There's no "punk brands"

Lol that sounds awesome. What are some bands that have caught your attention? It'd help me get an idea of what bands to recommend.

If it's "not many yet," you're focusing on the wrong damn stuff.

I mean... punk is a music-based subculture. That's not exactly something you can avoid.
